The flextable package provides a framework for easily create tables for reporting. Tables can be embedded within:
- R Markdown documents with support for HTML, Word and PowerPoint documents.
- Microsoft Word or PowerPoint documents.
An API is available to let R users create tables for reporting and
control their formatting properties and their layout. A flextable
object is a data.frame representation, it can be manipulated with
functions that give control over:
- header, body and footer content
- text, paragraphs, cells and border formatting of any element
- displayed values
There are articles on the flextable website that will help you get you to start quickly:

When you file a bug report, please spend some time making it easy for me to follow and reproduce. The more time you spend on making the bug report coherent, the more time I can dedicate to investigate the bug as opposed to the bug report.
A great way to start is to contribute an example or improve the documentation.
If you want to submit a Pull Request to integrate functions of yours, please provide:
- the new function(s) with code and roxygen tags (with examples)
- a new section in the appropriate vignette that describes how to use the new function
- corresponding tests in directory
tests/testthat.
By using rhub (run rhub::check_for_cran()), you will see if everything
is ok. When submitted, the PR will be evaluated automatically on travis
and appveyor and you will be able to see if something broke.
